You’ve seen the posts:“Excited to announce my new role outside the classroom!”
But what you don’t see?The messy, emotional, and often confusing journey it took to get there.
In this episode, Lisa pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to change careers as a teacher—and why it’s okay if your transition isn’t quick, easy, or linear. She shares the truth behind the process, common emotional roadblocks, and the power of hearing real stories from teachers who’ve made the leap.

You’ll learn:

• Why career change is so much more than just a resume update

• What to expect in the “messy middle” of transition

• How hearing others’ stories can unlock clarity and confidence

• Why networking matters—and how to start with simple steps

• A sneak peek at the powerful panel coming to the June 14 Teacher Career Transition Summit
